Cory Kammerdiener is a military veteran who applied the technical skills he honed as an Electronic Technician in the U.S. Navy to running a real estate brokerage with minimal overhead and no debt. He accomplishes this by operating his company, NewHomePrograms.com, virtually. The firm has 55 agents and eight brokers in six major cities across Texas and Florida. Rather than leasing physical offices and hiring staff in each of those places, Kammerdiener leans on technology to close transactions, engage his agents, and bring in new business.

Kammerdiener estimates that he saves approximately $80,000 per year, per office, just by not having to hire an office manager and a transaction manager.

“With this software, I don’t have to have those people. The money I save by not having to pay salary is dumped into marketing. That’s why we get so many people to our website.”
